We took a minivan with seven other passengers to Pai on Thursday morning - two Americans, an Aussie, a Brit, a Japanese couple and an American/Thai couple with a little boy. It was a long and winding road.
Upon arrival, we hiked with our bags to Sun Hut, a bamboo hut village just over the bridge outside of town. It was about 1 mile, but it felt like forever. I'm glad we made it, as our little hut Pluto was the last one available, for 550 baht ($14). It's awesome!
We rented motorbikes and have been exploring Pai ever since. We went to some hot springs and mingled with the townfolk. There's a lot of hippies in Pai, so we've feel like we've stumbled upon a traveller's secret!
I ordered a fish for dinner and got the whole thing...Jason put a napkin on it's head so we didn't have to look at it. Then we got ice cream at the only ice cream place in town, owned by a Frenchman. He gave us a lesson in business - silence (listening) is the key to successful sales.
It got very cold at night (probably around 50 degrees). Day 2 in Pai coming soon!
